Member, 1967 to present
One of the founding fathers of SLT, Bernard "Bernie" Bullbrook has been one of the longest serving members of the theatre.
Until his retirement and move to South Petherton, Somerset in 2006, Bernie was a regular feature in the SLT bar.
Bernie was Deputy Chairman for many years and fought hard to ensure SLT's voice was heard in council meetings and community groups throughout Lambeth.
Bernie was the leading light in founding Prompt Corner (see below).

Anecdotes
I remember a very moving speech that Bernie gave to the SLT Youth Group when we were preparing for Stay With Me (2006) (Prompt Corner). The play was based in the war and Bernie was an evacuee. He got all the children to lie down in Prompt Corner, in the dark, then turned the lights out - and described his feelings as a small boy, on a cold floor, in the dark, miles from home and frightened. And how he wet the bed because he knew that 'bed-wetters' were given an instant transport home.
Most moving was the fact that his very first theatrical performance was in the room in which we were all lying - long before it was Prompt Corner, it was St Luke's Church Hall and Bernie put on a charity performance to raise money for the war effort.
It is unsurprising therefore that he fought so long and hard to have Prompt Corner rebuilt as a theatre space.
